They created the Northwest Ordinance in 1787. That ordinance created a single Northwest Territory out of the lands north of the Ohio River, and east of the Mississippi River. The lands were to be divided into three to five smaller territories. When the population of a territory reached 60,000, the people would petition a statehood. Each new state would come into the Union with the same rights and privileges as the original 13 states.
